- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder (25–30 grams)
- 1 medium ripe banana (approximately 3.5 ounces), divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (optional)
- Pinch of salt

Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a blender, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, egg, egg whites, almond milk, half of the banana, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt (if using), sweetener, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Preheat the pan: Heat your nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat, adding coconut oil or butter until it coats the surface evenly.
- Cook the pancake: Pour all the batter into the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until edges firm and bubbles appear. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the bowl: Transfer the pancake to a bowl, slice if desired. Top with Greek yogurt, banana slices, berries, nuts, and seeds, followed by granola. Drizzle with nut butter, honey, or syrup, and sprinkle with cinnamon or cocoa nibs.
- Serve immediately while warm, mixing together for perfect flavor harmonies.
Notes
Customize with different fruits or nut butters according to your taste. You can also use vegan substitutes for a plant-based option.
